Sangr\u00eda, a delicious Spanish summer drink. Sangr\u00eda, with the emphasis on the \u2018i\u2019, is for many a well-known drink. A Spanish sparkling summer drink that you finish before you even know it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have enjoyed quite a few Sangr\u00edas here in Spain and to be honest with many different tastes. One of the best we have had at a restaurant not far from our mountain. The owner revealed that it contained more than red wine and orange juice. And you could tell for sure. Below you will find the recipe.<\/p>\n

The history of Sangr\u00eda<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I always assumed Sangr\u00eda was a typical Spanish drink. But did you know it originates in South America? According to Wikipedia, it was already drunk in Ecuador since the 14th century. Others say it was invented in the Antilles when it was a British colony. There is a quote from a Father from 1788;<\/p>\n

\n

\u2018Bebida inventada por los ingleses que se toma mucho en las colonias inglesas y francesas de Am\u00e9rica.\u2019 \u2013 Drink invented by the British who used to drink this in the English and French colonies of America.
\nPadre Esteban Torres<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The many Spanish who emigrated to South America took the drink back to Spain.\u00a0The name of the drink refers to the word
\nSangre, the Spanish word for blood, refers to the colour of the drink. It was also called lemonade wine. Something that I can recall. It drinks as easy as lemonade! Before you can even notice your glass is empty.<\/p>\n

Do you know the difference between Sangr\u00eda and Tinto de Verano?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not at all places, you can order a Sangr\u00eda, but most of the time you can order a Tinto de Verano, or ‘colour of the summer’. Actually, Tinto de Verano is a cheaper distraction than Sangr\u00eda. Tinto de Verano is red wine mixed with Fanta. Without the fruit, without the spices and the liqueur. The weekday version so to say.<\/p>\n

In the supermarket, you can find this drink in one-and-a-half litre bottles, very cheap.\u00a0Here we go for the more glamorous option, which takes also a tiny bit longer to prepare.<\/p>\n
